Herron trucks.....strange?
Drop Speed needs different graphics, the snake isn't doing it for me.
Drop Wedge has some hellacious concave, boo the the short length.
Light as a feather; but sadly, they don't turn (at least with the stock bushing/kingpin setup on an Executioner). Make them turn like Indys and I'd definitely buy a set for my longboard.
That is one nice magazine. Hats off to all involved in publishing it. Bright, colorful, thoroughly researched, and full of good reading. I can't think of an excuse not to subscribe anymore.
Best ad: Paris trucks, by far. Worst rip-off product: Leif boards "Drifter." Most deluded: Lynn Cooper as a self-proclaimed "Skate Legend" Worst Logo: Slip Tape (brooklyn kid=fail) Best Novelty Shape: Beer Run Worst Shapes: (3-way tie) Dregs Weapon, Seismic's full line of hammerhead longboards (sorry, not quite classic, Dan), everything Blackkross The Runway Award (looks good; but it's not for me): Factory 13's awesome routered pigs. Most Disappointing Graphics: Gravity (the pinstripe/hot rod thing is hot; but what's with the wave pictures?) Looks Promising: Banks Cove The Communism Award (looks good on paper; not so much in real life): Heron trucks. Make 'em turn like Indys and I'll buy 3 sets yesterday. Worst Pro Model: Messiah's Jesus boards. Best Pro Model: Kebbek Nico. Most Mediocre: Rivera Longboards (baltic birch pintails! mini cruisers! innovative!). Rocco Award (Ballsiest Graphic): Shut NYC's Box Cutter. Worst Company Name: Slow Motion Longboards. Biggest bandwagon: zip zinger-esque minis, pintails. Best Slogan: Earthwing: souped up, tricked out, built for speed. Coach Award (nice stuff that I don't want to pay retail for): Dead Dog skate shorts. Madonna Award (best comeback): Randal Trucks Zombie Award (for resurrecting old shapes that died a natural death): Churchill AK-45
